Do you know any other teens at school with Asperger's?

I dont think he actaully thort that, he was just - as u said - in a bad mood and didnt want to be hugged, and you just pissed him off, thats all

It's really because girls have become hyper-paranoid about men. If anyone here watches The Price is Right, today's game had a really crazy, eccentric guy who ended up winning the Showcase at the end. A bunch of us were watching it in the lunch room at work, and one young women started getting scared of him. I just said "It's okay, he's on TV, he can't get you."

Virtually every woman's worst nightmare is being liked by someone with Asperger's. They get hyper-uncomfortable with the Aspie's ways very rapidly, and guys like me end up getting blocked on MSN for no reason.

I've got three e-mail addresses that I'm tempted to post. Not gonna happen though.

I stand corrected. Today I found out that one of my friends in the grade above me is High-Functioning Autistic.

My answer is a qualified yes. There were two guys who graduated 2 years before me. I am very close friends with one of there girlfriends. THrough here I found out about him last year. And we have talked. My friend while we are pretty sure she isn't AS, but we aren't sure and she doen't want to be sure. even if not the term nuero-typical woud be a stretch.

Alas, no. I wish I did; it would make my life so much easier.

Then again, I've only moved to the school I've been in comparatively recently (last August) and I still know pretty much no one well. It could easily be that there are other Aspies in my school, but I haven't met them. (I am extremely shy and I have issues with trusting people. Since moving and leaving my friends in my last school behind, I have retreated into my books and special interests, and at the moment my main source of friendly non-family conversation comes from my teachers. I'm good with adults, but bad at interacting with peers.)

i wish knew some, especially if they were as bent on learning social skills as i am. Its nice to have people who understand you ^^

I'm not an asperger but there is a girl in my class with AS. Sadly she takes pills.

Yes, I do actually. I didn't know we were so similar until just this year. That was interesting.

yeah im a 17 year old senior and i know a kid with AS. I don't like him, i tried to be friends with him and were sorta for a year but know he's just a real jerk, he pushes me and acts really immature, i somtimes ignore him and other times i hit him. I didn't even know he had AS until he told me, I just thought he was ADHD. He has several friends, doesn't act like a typical AS, he has several friends, but not me, i sent him a friend request twice on Myspace but they were not accepted so forget him, i have several NT friends anyway, they don't know I have AS.

Yes, there are a couple of teens in my school, in fact two of them are new members of wrongplant. The place where I have study hall is a room in our school's library and my teacher is an ASD resource teacher. I am happy to know that there are other teenagers at my school with Aspergers because I don't feel alone and we can sometimes relate to each other with problems we have had. The only thing I wish was that there were some other girls at the school with Aspergers because I am the only girl in the teacher's room who has Aspergers.

You're so fortunate. My school's psychiatrist doesn't really do any of that stuff, and I think that I know more than the teachers and the school psychiatrist about Asperger's. I was told that there were a couple of others with it, but that teacher that I asked said that she couldn't tell me who they were for confidentiality rules, which is kind of understandable. I wonder if they're wondering the same exact thing, because I'd really like to meet the other people at my school with Asperger's. But yeah at my school I get an IEP and all that, but the only real attention goes to people with disorders that belong in the special ed. room. I wished that they'd do a little more than just suppose that we'll do fine without any other people like us, which is what it seems from my point of view, that we're not "special" enough to recieve any attention like having an aspie support group or something special so we wouldn't have to feel alone. At least I know that there's some other aspies at my school to look from the "glass is half full" perspective.

The only other aspie I know of at my school is this freshman girl I interviewed once for the school paper. I'm sure there's more- it's a pretty big school.

I am 90% certain that my best friend at my current school is an Aspie. I haven't talked to him about this yet. The only reason I even though of it was because my mother had a conference with a teacher who said she taught another aspie.

He does seem to have most of the symptoms: elevated sense of taste, social ineptitude, obsessions, etc. The fact that he is my friend also seems to be a clue. (I read somewhere that Aspies communicate much better with other aspies and people with autism than with NT's)

Hmm... only about 400-500 in the high school... Statisticly we have more than we should. Crap...

Yes, or at least ones with various forms of high functioning autism. I tend to not get along too well with them.

My best freind is a confirmed aspie, and we both go to the same school, although he is in the year below me. It is nice to have somone who gets me and who i do not feel out of place with. although somtime i do find comunication can be hard between us other times it is really easy.

jammie

There are many people in my school that I believe have AS. But, I cannot confirm this. All I know is that there are alot here, atleast that is what a teacher told me. I want an aspie friend at school
